About the Ranch

We maintain a safe, private facility in Sonoma County where horse and rider
have the opportunity to spend time together in a quiet barn, with no more than
eight horses boarded at a time. Sorella Ranch is a straightforward, relaxed
facility, perfect for a horse in light/full work, or your retired old friend.
Your horse will receive the same care we give our own, and the small community
insures any time access to the daily maintained all-weather arena and unlimited
turnout availability.

Our farrier comes every 6 weeks, but is always just a phone call away,
and we work with Redwood Equine Veterinary Service. We have a truck and trailer
on site if an emergency situation arises, and work closely with a local
hunter/jumper professional in order to maintain the highest standards of
horse care, safety, and footing.

Sorella Ranch is owned and operated by Birgit Byers, who has a lifetime of
experience with horses and as an equestrian. Birgit began riding as a child and
after taking a few years off when her children were toddlers, started up again
with enthusiasm. She evented for many years before moving into the hunter/jumper
ring. Once her children were off to college, she moved to Sebastopol to follow her
dream of owning a horse property and bringing her mare, Royal Lady, home.
